There’s a reason why BGT is not on tonight and you won’t be seeing Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and the gang on your TV.
Don’t worry though, they will return – and it won’t be a wait as long as there usually is between series.
Here’s the explanation for Britain’s Got Talent being axed from the ITV schedules.

Why isn’t BGT on TV tonight?
BGT is not on television on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Instead, when viewers might expect to watch Bruno Tonioli getting over-excited about an act eager to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, or witness hosts Ant and Dec give a nervous entertainer a pep talk before they storm their audition on stage, the BGT crew will give way to men playing with odd-shaped balls.
That’s because it is the final rugby match weekend of the 2025 Six Nations Championship. And around the time BGT would normally be on, France will be battling Scotland. Time to demonstrate Scotland has sporting talent!
How fans have reacted
Regular BGT viewers have not been impressed by the news they will miss out on a week of auditions for 80 minutes of egg chasing.
One social media user moaned on X: “[Bleep]ing rugby, why can’t it be on ITV4? #BGT.”
Why can’t rugby be on another channel?
Someone else echoed that thought as they posted: “So annoying! Why can’t rugby be on another channel?”
And another fan fumed, coming to terms with the schedule change: “Don’t tell me it is being taken off for rugby #BGT.”
